Marble Falls, TX visit - November 2011

Later in the month we made a trip to Utopia Texas to join our friends from Colorado but on our way down we stopped off to see one of Mark's old school buddies, Scott Johnson...he did not make the picture her(since he took it) but he surprised us with inviting his folks to come over for a visit.  Mark had not seen them for years and me, never.  What sweet people...

Kathy lost her long fight with cancer earlier this year

She is greatly missed.  But on her birthday in August Marty

remembered her by sending out this message: 

 

"Because someone we love is in heaven, there's a little bit of

heaven in our home." 

 

This is her (on the left) at the Furlong lake house in 2010 with one of her MANY great friends Jana.

Sailor friends and Tex-Mex, doesn't get much better November 2011

Then, one day later we checked up on ex-sailors Mike and Suzanne Reaves (also from Lake Lewisville) and ex-cruisers.  We are still sorry that they got done cruising before we got started but I won't say that they are WAY older than us...
